Trips run by the Auckland Tramping Club involve a wide variety of locations, terrain, and conditions - from close to home to throughout the length of New Zealand.

No matter where a trip goes, or how "hard" or "easy" it is, thee is always a chance that something unexpected will happen - to your whole party, to you, or to another member of your party.

This page provides some guidance to you on what to expect when there is a delay to the completion of a trip, whether from unexpected trip conditions, or as a result of one of your party having a significant accident.

Before You Start A Trip

If you are new to tramping in NZ, or have not been out tramping for a while, be conservative on which party you decide to join

Ensure that you are personally well prepared, and capable of completing the trip

Ensure your trip leader knows about any medical issues you have, and that you bring ALL required medications with you

For all trips you must supply emergency contact information - that person will be called in the event of a delay or emergency
